In what sense are you using the term “engineering” here? I work as an engineer, though almost certainly of a different kind (mechanical/structural/aerospace). Edit: Reading your history (or just the context of the accouncement), it’s clear you mean, “software” engineer. What I mean is, do you regard anyone in engineering as potentially having the skillset you want, even if it’s not specifically software? I also see your previous test although surely you’d want to use a different one that hasn’t been out for a year.
This is definitely somewhere I’d want to work, but I don’t think I have as much software experience as would be wanted right off the bat. I’ve downloaded the LW site hacking package and am still getting accustomed to git and Python, though I write code as part of my everyday work.

Oops, I should have been clear we’re only talking about Software Engineering. Please excuse my distorted Silicon Valley perspective :)
